Kenmore Commercial!

During American Gladiators (NBC), there was a commercial for a Kenmore refrigerator-- the mother was asking why everything in the house couldn't be in the right place. In this type of refrigerator, everything was in the place it belonged-- look when the kid opens the drawer. I believe there was a box of Wheat Free Van's waffles!!!

Would that be a first, a gluten-free product in a mainstream, nationally advertised commercial?!?!

Yes! We noticed that last night. The husband/dad in the commercial is also wearing an identical shirt to one that my husband has. :D

I was just going to post about that!!! I paused and rewound many times to make sure it really was true. Happens to be the same ones in my freezer right now. =)

I saw it too last night. I can't even remember what I was watching- but I am not sure it was a major network. The first time I saw it I thought I was seeing things- a little too much gluten-free food on the brain...and then I saw it a second time!

I saw it too!! I know it's strange, but I got so excited!!! I was actually googling kenmore so I could call or email them and tell them that I appreciated the placement, you know, create more awareness, and I found this thread...

So I actually called the customer service number (I couldn't find an email address) and thanked them for the product placement. The guy I spoke to seamed kind of confused, but said he would pass along my appreciation. I think we all should call. Let them know that we appreciate it. Here's the number: 1-800-469-4663

yup yup! And I sat there thinking how many other celiacs saw this...as we are probably the only ones to notice something like this, especially since its shown in a split second!!!

Yep, I saw it too! I even paused it to make sure. But then I noticed the regular pizza's right next to the waffles! I guess that is a "mixed" home! :P You definetly wouldn't see that in my freezer!

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
